[quote=Anonymous]Sorry to be blunt, but I am not obsessed about it.  I really don't care much what happens to me if I am brain dead and can't remember anything or feel.  If I have as stroke and my brain is gone, or I get severe dementia, I'd rather be euthanized.  If I am mentally sharp but my body isn't working, I'd try to use my assets wisely to get minimum adequate care. I'd prefer to live at home and have a visiting (or live-in) housekeeper to cook and clean or a low wage type of caretaker.  I hope I won't need a nurse or a medical professional.  If I do.. this means I am severely disabled and my QOL is zero and I might as well get euthanized, although that would be a harder decision.. than being brain dead.

If I fail to accumulate enough or something bad happens and I lose most of what I saved from decades of hard work, then I would work on eliminating assets and being poor.  This way you get government assistance and extra medical coverage.  I will have to research which state/city pays the most and establish residency there before I become frail. [/quote]
